Imagine Solutions Conference
The Imagine Solutions Conference is an annual thought leader forum that brings world-class visionaries to share ideas on today's most relevant issues.
Imagine Solutions is an annual conference held each year in February in Naples, Florida attracting a very substantial private sector leadership audience. Each year, the Imagine Solutions Conference brings 30+ speakers from across the United States, Canada, and around the world. Included are world-renowned experts in their fields, Nobel Prize nominees, Mother Teresa award winners, and many from TIME and Fortune magazine’s 100 Most Influential lists. Among the best and brightest are outstanding thought leaders such as economist Niall Ferguson, Wendy Kopp/education, Dean Ornish and Ken Dychtwald/wellness, and anti-human-trafficking activist Somaly Mam. Each session features 3 to 5 speakers presenting 16-minute briefings; focus on subject areas including healthcare, education, energy, economy, environment, women in leadership, the arts, and social entrepreneurship. Each speaker is asked to share at least one “Big Idea” with an audience that can make a difference. Multiple networking breaks each day allowed attendees and speakers to connect, interact and discuss ideas presented on stage
Imagine Solutions partners with 1) a number of world class content resources (NOVA, CNBC, The Economist, National Geographic Society, RAND Corporation, BBC, Juilliard, NPR, HBR, many leading universities, The Nature Conservancy, Newseum, and others, 2) the leading NPOs and foundations in a number of critical focus areas—to access and bring the most important thought leaders on a myriad of subjects to speak with our audience.

What does it mean to live a good life?
It's one of the oldest—and perhaps most important—questions we can ask.
At the 2026 Imagine Solutions Conference, bestselling author and New York Times columnist David Brooks joined us live to explore what truly matters: character, purpose, relationships, and the habits that lead to a meaningful life.
It's no surprise this was one of our most popular presentations.
If you have 20 minutes this weekend, it's time well spent.

As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, there's never been a better time to rediscover the ideas that gave birth to America.
Long before there was a United States, there was a remarkable gathering place where the greatest minds of the era shared ideas that helped shape a new nation: the American Philosophical Society.
At the 2026 Imagine Solutions Conference, historian Patrick Spero took us inside the fascinating story of America's oldest learned society—founded by Benjamin Franklin—and its enduring role in advancing knowledge, discovery, and democracy.
If you enjoy history, curiosity, and the power of ideas, this is a presentation you won't want to miss.
